Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety & Depression Therapy for When You’re Running on Empty
For the anxiety that won’t switch off and the flat, heavy stretches that hide behind getting things done.
A lot of anxiety and depression doesn’t look like the textbook. It looks like being productive and reliable while privately overthinking everything, lying awake, or feeling strangely numb. You’re still functioning — which is exactly why no one notices how tired you are.
You might recognize this if
This work may be for you if…
- You’re tired in a way rest doesn’t fix
- Your mind won’t switch off, even when things look fine
- You’re achieving plenty and feeling empty anyway
- You’re going through the motions, oddly flat
- You’re shorter‑fused than you used to be
- Things you used to enjoy don’t quite reach you
The kind that hides in plain sight
High‑functioning anxiety can pass for being driven and dependable — the over‑preparing, the racing mind, the sense that if you stop, it all falls apart. Depression doesn’t always mean you can’t get out of bed; sometimes it’s the flatness under a full calendar.
You’ve been coping for a long time. Coping is a skill — but when it’s the only thing holding you up, it wears thin. We slow it down and make sense of what’s underneath, drawing on CBT and ACT for the thought patterns, mindfulness for steadiness, and EMDR when it’s rooted in something older. The goal isn’t to white‑knuckle through — it’s a calm that doesn’t cost everything to hold.

Common questions
What is high-functioning anxiety?
It’s anxiety that hides behind competence — you’re meeting deadlines and showing up for everyone while internally bracing and rarely resting. It’s not an official diagnosis, but it’s real, and it responds well to therapy.
Is it depression, or just stress and burnout?
They overlap, and you don’t have to sort that out before reaching out. Early on we’ll get clear on what you’re experiencing and what would actually help. You don’t need a diagnosis to deserve support.
Do you prescribe medication?
No — I’m a counselor, not a physician. Many people do meaningful work in therapy alone; others find a combination helpful, and I’m glad to coordinate with a prescriber if you have one.
A steadier place to stand
You’ve been strong for a long time. Let’s build something steadier underneath it.
